NASCAR’s most popular driver was asked Tuesday at a fan forum at the NASCAR Hall of Fame if he has any pets he takes on the road with him. Drivers often stay in motorhomes at the track and several have pets.

“I’ve been dating Amy for several years and she’s got a Pomeranian that I don’t claim,” Earnhardt told fans. “But he’s pretty cool. But I don’t admit it. He goes every week because he’s so small, he’s easy to carry around.”

“He goes every once in a while if the grass is close to the bus (in the motorhome lot),” Earnhardt said. “If it’s a lot of concrete, I usually don’t take him because you have to walk him all the way across the track to get him to use the bathroom somewhere.”
